⬤ Just dropped traffic data showing Alphabet's Gemini crushed it in January 2026—becoming the fastest-growing generative AI website when you stack up month-over-month visits. The ranking tracked worldwide traffic from December 2025 to January 2026 across all the major GenAI players.
⬤ Gemini snagged a 19.21% traffic increase—the biggest leap in the bunch. Claude wasn't far behind with 17.51% growth, and Grok posted a respectable 15.81% climb. Meanwhile, ChatGPT added 3.73% to its visits, still growing but nowhere near the pace of the front-runners.
⬤ Not everyone had a good month, though. DeepSeek took a −9.29% hit, and Perplexity dropped −5.31%—showing that user habits are shifting fast across the AI landscape. Some platforms are pulling users in, while others are clearly losing steam.
⬤ Gemini, Claude, and Grok are the momentum players right now. January's numbers paint a clear picture: these three platforms are winning the traffic race while legacy giants like ChatGPT coast and newer entrants struggle to hold ground. The GenAI wars just got more interesting.
